If HERR Most were not such coward
he would soon be in the company of
the Chicago Anarchists who were
hanged last Friday, and would reach
them over the same route which they
travelled. His cowardice saves his
neck; his will to murder is good enough
but his courage fails him. The other
day he denounced the Supreme Court
Justices as all being in the pay of the
monopolists," and threatened that if
the Chicago wretches were hanged, a
hundred others would be killed for
each of them. Most may "get there"
one of these days.

SPARKS BOUNCED.
THE HERALD,
Salt Lake City, ct;

Secretary Lamar, metaphorically
speaking, kicked Commissioner Sparks
out of Office two or three days ago, and
now the latter gracefully retires after
filing letter of resignation. The
Secretary said it would be absolutely
necessary for one of them to go; that
in justice to the public the President
should appoint Secretary of the
Interior VINO would obey the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office,
or a Commissioner who would
be subject to the rulings of
The Secretary. Mr.. Sparks seems
10 be one of those fellows who can take
hint after he has been kicked few
times. and has finally concluded that
he is not wanted. The country will
never get over regretting that he didn't
arrive at that conclusion about two
years and six months ago. If he had,
lots of settlers on the public domain
and many other people would have
escaped unnecessary trouble and ex-
pense. General Sparks is not a bad
man on the contrary he is good man,
and if ever an official tried to perform
hts duty faithfully and honestly he did.
But he was so erect that he leaned back
wards.
General Sparks Was familiar with the
fact that millions of acres of the public
land had been stolen and so was every
body else familiar with the same fact,
but unlike the Commissioner, every
body else did not regard all who I'M
dertook to acquire title to government
land as thieves. The land laws were
enacted for the tTofold purpose of
pgoViding cheap homes for poor people
and of redeeming and making pro-
ductIve and valuable the vast public
domain. General SPARKS seemingly as
sumed that as frauds had been prac-
ticed the laws were bad, and so far as
it has been In his power to do so he
has made the statutes imperative. He
has prevented the consummation of
some frauds, and restored some tracts
which thieves were endeaVoring to get
away with; but he has also oppressed
POOR and honest settlers. Few patents
have been issued since he went into
Office, and thousands of good men who
have complied strictly and faithfully
with the law are to-day wrongfully II
not maIiciously kept out of the title to
the land which is theirs. The Commits
sioner's strict rulings have retarded de-
velopment and his ssinine orders
have inflicted unnecessary hardship |
upon inofending people. 1t is we'll |
enough to prevent fraud, but all the
men. the poor and the rich, who are
trying to take advantage of the liberal
land laws to acquire title to soil, are
not rogues.
The Commissioner has been over
ruled and reversed so many times that |
it has surprised everybody that he did |
not resign, or was not bounced months |
ago. It will please all that he has now
been made to go.

1t is certain that sedentary men (un-
less their appetites are restrictad) are
quite as heavy eaters as laborers Some
of the exceptions comprise those
who, by the habitual use of the so
called paratriptios, tea, coffee, tobacco,
wine, ETC., daily lessen the waste of the
brain and thus diminish the amount of
necessary food. Setting these aside,
every hospitable housekeeper knows and
exact experiment proves that ~sedentary
men are quite as large as an
equal number of daily laborers. They
must eat largely ur fail to obtain sufi-
cient brain supply from food which con-
tains but a small proportion of it. Even
then it is probable that the nervous it's
sues often suffer from starvation. Else
why the frequent examples of collapse in
this class of the community The only
really effective and feasible means Of
palliation to this dilemma are to be found
In h %judicious employment of those
substances which nature has placed in
our hands, apparently for this very pur-
pose, and which the blind instinct of man
has always discovered and applied. I
refer to the use of the SO called para
triples, Oh preventers of waste in the
body. OF these the most common and
best known are wine, tea, coffee and to-
bacco. Other substances, such as the
South American coca, the betel nut and
all the narcotics. exhibit similar powers.

The Oyster superstItIon.

The old superstition that an oyster is
poisonous in the months of May, June,
July and August is now exploded. The
b~ivalves are for sale in all the large cities
Of the country all the year round now.
In olden times the oyster was gathered
in the wild state, but nowadays the oys-
ter crop is cultivated just as the corn
crop is. You may AVE heard of corn
fed oysters" That means that they are
really fed by cornmeal sprinkled upon
the surface of the water and allowed to
gradually settle. l will say this about
the summer oyster, however, and that is
he is thin and weak, and by no means as
palatable as the spring, fall and winter
bird. When the old idea prevailed that
an oyster was poisonous in a month with
out an ''r," except August, when
spelled "Orgust, " the clam business en-
joyed a boom, which is now ON the de-
cline, for somehow or another the clam
does not catch on away from the sea
board cities. Oyster Dealer in Globe.

Ono Danger Of Ice Water.

'If people must drink ice water" said
a chemist to n reporter, 81 would advise
them to bottle the water and lay the bot
ties on the ice, rather than to place ice In
the water, for there is no doubt that al
most all the river and lake ice used in
New York contains a large proportion Of
bacteria. or course, most of the species
encountered are harmless, but in Hudson
river water and ice there are the bacteria
OF typhoid fever and the bacteria of sup
puration or pyemia. This cannot be 9TH
erwise when you consider the number OF
hospitals In and near New York, the
drainage from which ends in the river. II
you must mix the ice and water then get
lake ice, for 1t is the purer of the two. Ice
cut from rivers In the vicinity of large
cities always contains numerous bacteria,
and to my mind the authorities should ex-
ercise a supervision over the gathering Of
such products.
'Ice really should be made by an arti-
fetal process, and then only distilled water
should be used. Freezing and low tenn
perature do not kill all species Of bacteria.
Suppuration and typhoid bacilla can be
killed only by boiling the water. There
fore, by taking the water that comes from
distillation and freezing it you can get ice
hat might well be taken as q standard for
purity ."-New York Mail n Express.

The fact that the Manchoo nation rules
the Chinese does not weaken China. The
people, and especially the literati Of China,
are loyal to the imperial family just as If
1t were Chinese. 1.-The emperor is to me
the donor of literary rank, and his ances-
tors gave my ancestors literary honors
for seven or eight generations. l owe him
fealty as the fountain of my honors."
Such is q specimen of the way in which
they reason, and it is an understood thing
that any who, on occasion of q popular
rising at any place, may be acting as chief
magistrates, must die rather thar quit
their posts.
To talk politics is in common life not
allowed. The well conducted citizen
pays his taxes, attends to his own affairs,
and avoids criticising the government. If
he goes to a a cup of tea in n large tea
shop he sees written up in large characters,
"Do not talk politics. The master of the
house wishes his customers to avoid such
conversation, on his own account as we'll
Us on theirs" People will converse of
course on political subjects, notwithstand-
ing this injunction, and run the risk of
being observed by some one who may re-
port what they have been heard to say,
with additions. The daily newspaper,
too, is forcing its way as an exciting
novelty, and its compact dose Of news,
local and foreign, is growing into a neces-
sity. But the old system is built up on
the absence Of a political thought as a
foundation, II it is considered that this

A person who has never been in the
polar regions can probably have no idea
of what cold really is; but by reading the
terrible experiences of arctic travellers in
thai icy region some notion can be
formed of the extreme cold that prevails
there. When we nave the temperature
down to zero out of doors we think it
bitterly cold, and if our houses were not
30 warm as, at least, 60 dogs. above zero,
we should begin to talk of freezing to
death. Think, then, of living where the
thermometer goes down to 80 degs. be-
low zero in the house in spite of the
stove. Of course, in such a case the fur
garments are piled on until a man looks
like a great bundle of skins.
DIR. Moss, of the English polar expedi-
ton of 1875 and 1876, among other odd
things, tells of the effect Of cold on q wax
candle which he burned there. The
temperature was 35 dogs. below zero,
and the doctor must have been consider
ably discouraged when, upon looking at
his candle, he discovered that the flame
had all it could do to keep warm. 1t
was SO cold that the flame could not melt
all the wax of the candle, but was forced
to eat its way down the candle, leaving a
sort of skeleton of the candle standing.
There was les enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, n the result was q beautiful lace
like cylinder of white, with a tongue of
yellow flame burning inside it and send
ing out n the darkness many streaks
of light. This is not only a curious effect
Of extreme cold, but it shows how diff
cult it must be to find anything like
warmth in a place where even fire itself
almost gets cold. Scientific American.

CAPT. G. w. BRAMEL. of Laramie
City, and Mr.. Thomas B. Adams, of this
city, have, among others, been interested
in the organization of a territorial militia.
Governor Moonlight has been commu-
Hicated with and il reply sends = letter
which shows that the organization is not
at present feasible. Under the act OF
congress it is necessary to have at least
800 militia regularly enlisted, organized
and uniformed before the general govern
ment will issue to the governor arms,
ordnance stores, quartermasters' stores
and camp equipage. 1t would be a mat
ter of a good deal of difficulty to secure
300 men in Wyoming who would be will

uniforms and the various incidentals, and

A SPECIAL dispatch from Sterling says
the Burlington & Missouri tracklayers are
now at work within the limits of that
town. Depot and sidetrack grounds are
being prepared and the railroad company
propose to rush work in order that
regular trains from there to the East may
be put on in a few. days. Sterling Is
looking for an extraordinary influx of
population this fall, due entirely to the
arrival of the Burlington. The town is
about ninety miles from Cheyenne, which
assures the arrival here of the Cheyenne
& Burlington by the early part of Nov
ember. Cheyenne has not yet begun to
to appreciate the big boom the Burling-
ton will bring here, but a lively fall and
winter certainly seem in prospect.

Som. Ane,.n. philosophy.

A book called Spectrum Mundi, or Q
Glass Representing the Face Of the
World, " published in 1870, gives a curl
GUS picture of what passed for science be-
fore the great modern discoveries were
made. 1t consists Of a chapter on each OF
the six days of creation. 1t says that the
world was at first an u~nfashioned lump.
Having disposed of the question Of a
armament Gs best it could, 1t says Of the
air hat the highest region is said to be
Exceeding hot" because OF the stars.
Meteors and comets, 1t informs us, are
composed of vapours or fumes-a kinde
OF Smoak." Some of these vapors ''tran-
scend' very high, seven to the Starry
Heaven itself; which is witnessed by our
best modern astronomers, who have OBJ
served many comets above the moon"
Great events are connected with comets,
because those bodies consist OF ''many hot
and dry exhalations' and "distemper the
air, " which 1.-THE bellows of the body suck
In and receive; insomuch that there can
not but be sickness, plague, and much
mortality" Moreover, these ''poysonous
b~reathings" are Every apt SO to disorder
and dry up the blood in humane bodies
that thereby great store of red and d dust
choler may be purchased, and this stirreth
up to anger with the thought of many
furious violent actions, and SO by
consequence to war;"
Thunder is caused 'by reason OF hot
and dry exhalations shut within the
cloud, which, seeking to get out, with
great violence do knock and rend the
cloud" The hot and dry exhalation In
escaping is set on fire by the violence, and
becomes lightning, when 1t often con-
tinues burning until 1t falls to the ground
"And oftentimes a great stone is blown
out OF the cloud with it; whose cause Is
also natural" For, when the exhalation
Is drawn up from the earth, 1t sometimes
takes earthly matter like unto the finest

moisture which 1t getteth in the air."

cessive e which it findeth In the general
matter OF the exhalation," becomes hard

carry up also frogs, fishes and grain, or
the vehement heat of the sun draws milk,
and we are treated to curious showers of
corresponding nature. We are informed
that the long, streaming threads seen
floating in the air, and vulgarly supposed
to be spiders webs, are nothing of the
kind, but meteors, which 'may rightly be
supposed to proceed out of a through
boyled or digested vapor, being mixed
with earthly and Shiny calculations. -

I have seen n statement floating around
that a revision or new version OF the Old
Testament has been a financial failure,
and the English speaking people every
where have practically declared that the
King James translation is good enough
for them. The revision of the New Test
ament caught on as n novelty, being well
advertised and pushed by e~nterprising
publishers, but the new version of the
Bible fell fat. The publishers of Eng
land and America have, however, made a
good thing of the revision in the publica-
ton of what is known as ''parallel
Bibles" the old and new version being
printed in parallel columns. They come
a little higher, but as no one wants the
new version alone, It is easy to sell the
double edition to a person wanting u
Bible at all.-Bookseller in Globe Demo-

Most people. when informed that their
heart is seriously Affected, feel as if there
was but a step between them and death;
but the heart is a very strong organ, and
even when greatly DISTRACTED or weak
ened, can manage, with the intelligent
cooperation Of the patient, to keep the
blood carrying life through the arteries
for many years. Often it has to force
the blood through a shriveled opening
not much larger than a goose quill; and
this it does by working harder, thus
causing its own enlargement.
But the enlargement may at length
cause a dangerous thinning of some por-
ton Of its walls. Sometimes the walls
Of the aorta-the large ~arterial trunk
into which the heart empties-lose their
elasticity, and swell out into a great thin
tumor (aneurism). Sometimes the tough
fbers of the heart are changed to fat.
In such cases a fatal termination may be
long delayed by avoiding undue excite
ment.
So, too, the diabetic patient may ELL
out a good measure of life, provided he
is willing to abstain rigidly from certain
kinds of food, Every one knows how
fatal Bright's disease is, and yet Bright

the recent death of his father he came

home on the coast Of Scotland is said to
be one of the most beautiful in location
and appointment. The New York papers
say hat Mr.. Stevenson's speech betrays
his nativity. His clear cut features are
emphasized by sunken cheeks that tell OF
i'll health and toll, and his dark eyes, be
meath black, pronounced eyebrows, form
a striking contrast to the pallor of his
countenance. His long black hair is
brushed straight back from a high fore
head, and clusters around his shoulders.
AS he talks his eyes acquire a deeper
hue. and the listener seems to see
nothing but those intense orbs, which APP
parently look him through and through.
In height he is about five feet eight, of
slender, if not delicate, form, and his age
is probably IS or Sc. This is his second
visit to this country. Some years ago he
purchased an emigrant's passage, travel
ing in the second cabin and exciting his
companions on the voyage by his curious
questions and Industrious habit of noting
all ne saw or heard. He was then on his
way TO California to be married. Mrs.
